Data from previously processed EEG files from CU and MU were used. Before I got them, the following was done:
I subsequently:
Trials were included if:
1) The RT was between 200 and 500 ms
2) A response was made (i.e., no miss trials)
3) The trial wasn’t rejected in artifact rejection procedure
The following subjects were excluded:
- 1040 (doesn’t have full number of trials)
- 2023 (problems with EEG data)
- 2077 (problems with EEG data)
- 2089 (problems with EEG data)
- 2151 (problems with EEG data)
- 2157 (problems with EEG data)
- 2181 (problems with EEG data)
- 2187 (doesn’t have full number of trials)
Each subject did 384 experimental trials (prime-only trials were also included but not in the 384).
FZ, F3, F4, FCZ, FC3, FC4, C3, CZ, C4 (9 electrodes) were included.
Total sample is 134 subjects, 60 from CU and 74 from MU.

Negative is plotted upward.
To test the mean amplitude of the ERNs, a model was fitted with Race and Object as predictors. The intercept, slopes of Race and Object, and their interaction were allowed to vary by subject. The intercept was allowed to vary by Electrode nested within Subject.
Race and Object were both effect coded.
